COHERENT VUV/XUV GENERATION USING TECHNIQUES OF NONLINEAR OPTICS : A SHORT REVIEW OF EXPERIMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS

摘要

Experimental arrangements developed by research groups in Palaiseau, Bielefeld, Chicago and Berkeley-Stanford are briefly presented. They lead to the generation of coherent and tunable VUV/XUV radiation by nonlinear optical methods. The choice is representative from the point of view of the specificity of the setups and the results obtained.
